You suck! There's a sidewalk 4 feet to your right. Use it and stay out of the damn way dumbasses.

Yeah, I’ve never understood this but I’m sure someone will layout the reason how it’s “safer”
We’re in a new community with big, wide, sidewalks in perfect condition. Some people still not only jog, but walk on the streets.
Back when I ran, our sidewalks were uneven and cracked from all the massive trees. So I would get up at 5:30 and run on the streets; but on those rare occasions that a car would come along I would hop up on the sidewalk when it was within a couple blocks, until it passed.
Stupid and dangerous during normal traffic.

What if the streets are bare and the sprinklers are going in peoples' yards? I will run in the street at times if it's quiet (usually at 6AM).
Definitely a pet peeve of mine.
Home owners, you paid for the contractor to pour your sidewalks.
Why not use them?!

Nobody walks on the sidewalks where I live except on busy highways that go through
Doctors will remind you that jogging
on cement or asphalt is really bad
for your knees. Go to a local park
and run on the grass.

There’s a street?No problems here...
This really needs to be a CAPTCHA.No problems here...
Identify all the squares with boobs.
I believe the asphalt is softer than concrete on a sidewalk. So a little less stress on the joints.
It's nothing compared to the nazi bikers who take up the whole freaking street.

Running on concrete is harder on your body than asphalt... however, I agree with OP.
Pavement returns, on average, about 69 less pounds of force (than concrete) back through the body, per step, and that adds up.
Bro, why you making up fake quotes of me. I can't believe this.
I was trying to escape a jogger thread.
You would be correct about running on asphalt. Much less taxing on the joints.
When I’m running in the street it’s social distancing to keep away from all the people on sidewalks. In Chicago, there are a ton of folks out walking their dogs and it’s just easier to run in the street to avoid them.
